Lancashire’s proposed Devolution Deal was signed in November, after the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement. It is being seen as an agreement that will grant autonomy to make decisions which will serve the interests of Lancashire’s business community and increase economic development.

The consultation process will finish on January 26th, residents can complete a questionnaire on the proposal before this time which will be fed back to the government.
